A few early adapters are seizing the opportunity - and those will be the people who reap the benefits in 6 years when everyone else decideds to jump in! Those who had websites 10 years ago are sitting pretty right now with all the best domains and the highest search engine rankings. Video will be the same. We do video tours for listings starting at $139. I know many realtors who spend far more than that running worthless ads in newspapers which nobody reads! Still.

There are so many ways to use video and it's just getting started. I suspect there will be many new and exciting uses and applications we haven't even thought of yet. Joseph's video email application is one, another is the emerging use for blogging comments, like Seesmic is doing. I think soon we'll see a lot more online video advertising and video overlay of spokespersons like innovateads.com is doing as well. It's a brave new world out there! Thanks for your comments, everyone!

Recently, I have been exploring branded video emails where professionals can send home /neighborhood videos, testimonials, etc. in a branded email. I 've adopted such a product and am preparing a post on it.. I even used it to send some Christmas cards to friends: http://tinyurl.com/6zoyyd I too am a fan of video applications by real estate professionals, as users have shown their acceptance and preference for visual data.

I am a big fan of video. Why? - Relationships. Video helps visitors to your website connect with you.. get to know you and your personality. My biggest tip - Keep it Simple. It is not about the fancy equipment, or even the editing software but creativity, commitment and passion. Keep up the great work in Seattle. Jim,

Great post. I am a big fan of video.

Why? - Relationships. Video helps visitors to your website connect with you.. get to know you and your personality.

My biggest tip - Keep it Simple. It is not about the fancy equipment, or even the editing software but creativity, commitment and passion.

Keep up the great work in Seattle.

I'd love to hear your thoughts as to what a reasonable price is for a home listing or agent profile video. I have an ad agency in Edmonds where we do a lot of online video. About a year ago, I spent months going back and forth with different real estate brokerages over what the appropriate price should be for a 1-3 minute home profile video, agent profile video, neighborhood profile vid, etc. It seems to me that the same person who can afford a $700K+ home isn't going to be all that impressed with the majority of the video you'd find on a typical brokerage's website. Yet, that's all most agents are willing to pay for, quality-wise. It was a frustrating experience, because the benefits of video were widely understood by everyone, yet the willingness to pay for it was not. Doesn't this seem like a problem better solved by the brokerages themselves putting a videographer on staff @ $35/hour, as-needed? Every discussion with a brokerage I had was attributable to the current or past "video guy" becoming unreliable or delivering poor quality work. It was unfortunate, but very predictable. Glad to see you're plugging ahead, though! I'm sure video has been working well for you. It does for just about everyone who uses it! -Jeremy PS: just started following you on Twitter, as well.
